Good Lord.....Paxton can flat out pitch. I still hold residual angst over him not pitching last year, that will probably stay with me for as long as he is a Sox, but big props to him for making it really enjoyable to watch him pitch. He's always been tremendous fun to watch do his thing. * The efficiency is sublime, like watching a craftsman at work. ----------------------- *when healthy

Really encouraging to see Duran hitting again. Can we imagine what it will be like when Devers wakes up?

If everyone returns, what happens with Reyes?

Paxton is great. Legitimate top 3 starter. The only problem is I am watching him with the skepticism of the "when in the next injury going to happen" lens.

If everyone returns, what happens with Reyes? He or Arroyo get traded at the deadline, IF Story is fully ready to start @ SS.

This is *precisely* how this team needed to show up offensively for this game.

Reyes was such a steal.

Devers is going to homer here.

In a 9-3 game I’d rather have a 9 pitch walk than a solo homer from Raffy!

I’ll try another tact. Duvall is NOT going to homer here.

Fairly certain Garza didn’t throw that change up much before getting here, iirc he was mostly fastball/cutter

Seven of 9 runs scored by the bottom 3rd of the order. 6 of 9 runs driven in by the top 2 in the order. That's a winning combination !

My non scientific observation about Yoshida is that when he has a bad night he has a bad night.
It seems like when he gets a hit you can count on him having a multi hit night as there is another hit or two sure to follow.

I sure like having a shortstop playing shortstop.

It's got to be so strange to be a Twins fan right now. On the one hand, their starting pitching has been good and they're in first place, so they have a fair shot at making the playoffs. On the other hand, their shiny new toys Vazquez and Correa have been very disappointing, they can't score runs, and they're about to be below .500 despite playing in an atrocious division.

It's so nice winning games comfortably without Devers and Yoshida contributing at all

Garza looks about 13

Garza is the ideal mop up guy. He comes in and throws strikes. Keeps teams from creeping back in
